Kentucky Social Security Disability Attorney

It can be easy to get caught up in the emotional whirlwind of an accident
that left you disabled or injured. We understand there are immediate medical
issues that victims of negligence must assess. More often than not, however,
focusing on treating your injuries will mean that you must take precious
time off from work, or in some cases, leave work forever.

If you are stuck in a situation where you are in need of financial assistance
due to a disability, you must enlist the help of a skilled Kentucky SSD
attorney. At the
Kirk Law Firm, PLLC, we are well-versed on the complexities and nuances of the laws that surround
social security disability benefits. We work hard so that you can receive
the money you need to continue to live comfortably and in good health.

Disability: Strictly Defined by the Government

If an
injury or illness has prevented you from returning to your job, you could qualify
for financial compensation from the government. This monthly financial
aid is known as Social Security Disability (SSD). Unfortunately, receiving
the financial assistance you need is not as easy as one would wish.

In the eyes of the United States Social Security Administration (SSA),
you may only receive SSD benefits if you meet certain requirements. Because
Social Security only pays for total disability, the definition of total
disability under Social Security is more specific than other programs.

The SSA defines disability as:

You are unable to do work that you were capable of doing before

You cannot adjust to other work due to your medical condition(s)

Your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least 1 year

Your disability will or is expected to result in death

The Social Security program also assumes that families will have access
to other financial resources. Unfortunately, this assumption has isolated
countless families in Kentucky, leaving many with no way to pay for basic
needs. Even during periods of short-term disability, including benefits from
workers' compensation, it may not be enough to offset day to day expenses of life.
